All You Uni Kids!!!
 
So who here is in uni?
What uni are you in?
What are you studying?

I'm going to Uni in September, I really can't wait

Jt 03.28.2007 04:39 PM

Don't go to Durham. Lol.

Reputation? Yeah. LIFE? No. Newcastle's close, though.

I study Law - second year. Hard. As. Nails.

screamingskull 03.28.2007 04:45 PM

I will be starting at the University of Central England in september to study Visual communication photography. what that is i'm not quite sure.

I'm in my fourth year of a Publishing Media degree at Napier University, Edinburgh. It's OK. Some of the more management/industry related modules are fairly gay but we also do fun creative DTP shit. For example, I designed covers for Junky and Naked Lunch by Burroughs. I also designed a book for kids on Russian Constructivism.

screamingskull 03.28.2007 04:49 PM

well college and uni is different over here.

I'm a bonafide university drop out. I was at Oxford before christmas and oh my god is that place a crock of shit full of cunts. Don't go there!

I'm going to UCL in September to study Archaeology, Classics and Classical art. Because I'm a geek :D

Hey you got in though - nice job. I don't know, obviously they're not academically equal but Durham, Oxford and Cambridge all have that "no social life" thing going on from what I've heard. I fucking wish I could ditch Durham but I've wasted too much money now so I might as well get this fucking law degree.

Honestly... CITY universities are the way. I'm sure you'll have a great time at UCL...

Well, there is a social life, if you like getting drunk, dancing to rnb and snogging strangers to get free drinks. oh, and paying £3 for a pint. and nothing else.

Jt 03.28.2007 05:00 PM

Yesss... I know EXACTLY what you mean. I barely go out nowadays when I'm here because the place is full of shit clubs and shitter people. I do DJ nights and have a radio show, write for the newspaper blah blahhh... the amount of apathy and indifference people respond to that stuff with is unbelievable.

I tend to go to Newcastle mainly. Oh, and true story: the most "rah" (posh toff daddy's kids) nightclub, Klute, was voted SECOND worst in Europe by some magazine. ...Then the worst, in Germany, FUCKING BURNED DOWN! Klute seems to promote the fact it's so bad these days... badge of honour.

Hey Screaming Skull! love your signiture pic..a still from my favourite and most iconic song/video ever!

Photography sounds like it would be so much fun to study

Haha I was thinking about that too, they said small things like plastering and such may not be totally finished and there will be a degree of work going on around us. But its worth it, its gonna be the most exciting art school kinda place, with art excibitions and cool stuff happening all around as. A lot of the Uni will be open to the public, so its going to have this amazing vibe.

Jt 03.28.2007 05:13 PM

Well hopefully it'll have a cosmopolitan vibe, which is more than I can say for the Durham side. I just opted for prestige and tradtional... and that's exactly what I got at the expense of a really creative, interesting student body and place. In hindsight I would have happily applied somewhere with a lesser rep but with WAY MORE INTERESTING things going on. It's a double-barrel thing, too... where you choose to study is important because certain places attract certain demographics, which obviously shape how you make friends (and who with)...

i'm starting at North Idaho College next semester. i'll probably keep living with my parents for a while (sigh).

both my brothers went to UCL, one did anthropology so he was kind of connected to the archaeology crowd. also, he told me he found a secret toilet somewhere in the history building, or something.
